All good for DAR service and there were some issues with thos who had joined on a 'combined' record It was a year after I wrote the letter that they replied I still plan to finish the document and give them a copy along with documentation. John Hi, John I, too, am a member of DAR. Because DAR did not respond for a year does not mean that they were unconcerned. I know they would appreciate your document with new documentation. If others have joined DAR on the 'combined" record previously, they will make note and any new members will have to provide more documentation to the correct ancestor. Because they have so few genealogists in proportion to the number of applications and supplementals applications they receive, they file everything according to the date it is received, and also according to whether it is for a 'new' ancestor, proven ancestor, thru a 'new' child, etc. When they get new documentation that DISPROVES an ancestor, they do take it quite seriously. Again, I encourage you to submit this new information to them. They do pride themselves on being accurate and sometimes they don't know something is inaccurate until folks like you let them know. It's like anything else in genealogy...........we do a great service by providing correct information, whether it's for our own personal research or to an organization like DAR.

I don't know about all of that - I do know that SAR has my ancestor and though they gave me the last application from 2005, someone was nice enough to double check my ancestor in DAR and its got a tag on it saying that the next person who tries to apply under him, Spencer Lehue, has to prove that he was involved in the Rev war i.e. me, lol - so I'm going to need some help trying to find where he interacted. I found his brothers, but not him, lol. I think the previous person said that he had signed a discenter's document....
